It is understandable as to why the Oakland A’s come to mind when one thinks of Rickey Henderson. He had his best seasons as a part of the A’s, easily the best player in team history since the move to Oakland. And, Henderson was a part of the A’s franchise four times as a player, spanning 14 seasons.
Amazingly, for a player of Henderson’s ability, he was on nine different teams and traded four times. Overall, he switched teams an incredible 12 times. But it is the first two trades that are particularly noteworthy, as Eric Plunk was turned into Henderson each time.
